Track: Breast Cancer -Overview

In this essential session, participants will receive a comprehensive introduction to breast cancer, focusing on its types, risk factors, and treatment options. The session will begin with an exploration of the different types of breast cancer, including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and triple-negative breast cancer. Understanding these types is crucial for determining the most effective treatment strategies.

Next, the session will delve into the risk factors associated with breast cancer, such as genetic predispositions, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of early detection through screening methods like mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, which are vital for improving patient outcomes.

A significant portion of the session will be dedicated to discussing the various treatment options available for breast cancer patients. These include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and emerging immunotherapy techniques. Each treatment option will be examined in the context of its application to different types and stages of breast cancer, highlighting the importance of personalized treatment plans.

Types and Classifications of Breast Cancer

Explore the different types of breast cancer, including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), invasive lobular carcinoma, and triple-negative breast cancer. This sub-track will focus on the pathology and implications for treatment.

Risk Factors and Epidemiology

Discuss the various risk factors associated with breast cancer, such as genetic predispositions (e.g., BRCA mutations), hormonal factors, lifestyle influences, and environmental exposures. The sub-track can also include discussions on epidemiological trends.

Screening and Diagnostic Techniques

Review the current methods of breast cancer screening and diagnosis, including mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy techniques. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of early detection and the latest advancements in imaging technology.

Breast Cancer Staging and Prognostic Indicators

Delve into the staging of breast cancer using the TNM (Tumor, Node, Metastasis) system and discuss the prognostic indicators that guide treatment decisions and predict outcomes.

Treatment Modalities and Strategies

Overview of the various treatment options available for breast cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. This sub-track will cover how treatments are tailored based on cancer stage and type.

Genetic and Molecular Profiling

Explore the role of genetic and molecular profiling in breast cancer, including BRCA1/2 mutations, HER2 status, and other biomarkers that influence treatment decisions and risk assessments.

Advances in Personalized Medicine

Discuss the impact of personalized medicine in breast cancer care, including how treatments are increasingly being customized to individual genetic profiles and tumor characteristics.

Survivorship, Quality of Life, and Supportive Care

Focus on the issues related to survivorship, including long-term follow-up care, managing side effects, psychological support, and improving the quality of life for breast cancer survivors.

Global Disparities in Breast Cancer Care

Examine the differences in breast cancer care across the world, highlighting disparities in access to screening, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as global efforts to reduce these disparities.

Future Directions in Breast Cancer Research

A forward-looking sub-track that discusses emerging trends and future directions in breast cancer research, including novel therapies, preventive strategies, and the potential for a cure.

Who Should Attend?

The "Breast Cancer - Overview" session is essential for oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, and healthcare professionals involved in breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and care. Researchers and medical students focusing on oncology will gain valuable insights into the latest advancements and trends in breast cancer management. Public health professionals, genetic counselors, and patient advocates will also benefit from understanding the broader context of breast cancer, including risk factors, prevention, and personalized treatment strategies. This session is ideal for anyone dedicated to improving patient outcomes and staying informed on the evolving landscape of breast cancer care.
